Fork boots for 1600

Vulcan Bill · 04-18-2014, 12:01 PM

I'm thinking about removing the chrome upper fork covers and installing fork boots. Anybody happen to know what size I would need to fit both upper and lower ends and where I might get them?
If you happen to have a picture of a 1600 with fork boots it would be great if you could post it.

No clue. Why? These covers do a great job keeping bug guts and beetle wings out of the fork seals... The damned wings are hard and are well know to be able to cut the seals.

Going for that dirt bike look, Bill?

1) I like the vintage look. That's why I replaced the OEM rear shocks with full enclosure shocks from a Honda 1100 which also lowered the back...Something else I wanted to do.
2) It makes the bike more unique and personal.
3) You should know me well enough by now to know I can't leave well enough alone.

Don't know the size, as for where just do a google search "motorcycle rubber fork boots", you will get tons of hits.

I'm guessing here but I think as far as shock boots on a Classic you'll be the first. As far as size, just measure you fork dia.
